I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

I think this is a fantastic image. Wonderful colors and light and the water looks outstanding. Superb!!
stuart83
I disagree, the shot is great (1)unusual rock formation & detail (2)Colour of the sand to the rocks (3)colour of the water For those reasons it's a great capture, we all see something different Stuart

Thanx Stuart! You took the words right out of my mouth! Besides all that, just look at your sky! The colour of the water and the detail of that unusual rock formation is also very eye catching! It's a WOW image Kai! ;0) See? I told you - way too critical on yourself :0))
WarpedHalo
Agreeing with Stuart here - he basically listed what I wanted to say. Although the image is lovely - I just love the colour of the water - it looks cool :)
babuci
Kai! What sort of photographic attitude is that? (LOL) Nothing wrong with this " around a corner " shot. I still like a water color as I did on a last one and this got a nice compo too. How is your burned skin anyway...any better? Chin up buddy!!
Valerie-Ducom
oh yes, very beautiful place on the beach and awesome color and composition, it's like a paradise, I love it!!! Good day ;)

These rocks are looking really amazing, a beautiful presentation!!

This MUST be a terrible shot. Look how everyone taring you down! I rather go with st_ribs. Don't put yourself down. It's far from being a boring or even bad shot. Colors and clarity are extraordinary - the sky drop dead gorgeous - not to mention the water!!
Gora
Awesome shot Kai....did you use a graduation filter? Your colour saturation is magnificent, and I really dont think its lacking in detail one little bit.... FA fresh look at an old scene, fab work man!!!
TwoPynts
I'd be hard pressed to find flaw with this image. Wonderful colors and and uplifting image. If you don't stop :sighing: and putting yourself down, I am going to stop commenting on your work! Some threat, eh? ;'P

Ionel

beautifull place....

You did take a chance doing this in very bright midday sunshine, risky at best bacause it can easily blow out your detail. IMHO it did not, you even get a fair tonal range on the rocks and good contrast. The water is a superb colour. Overall I tend to disagree, I think it's very good even regarding the colour of the foliage.
Margana
I can't agree with you,Kai.I don't see anything wrong with it at all.I think it's quite beautiful...so there! Thhhbbbbt!-M :^)
Chaos911
wow, fantastic!!!
natalieb
I agree with the rest Kai, nothing wrong with it, you are to hard on yourself! It has beautiful colours, I like it a lot. Great job!
lafayette
I see your comment about your post , i remember i have the same problem about some shot because the sky is to uniform, too blue or to grey and i use nik colors filter ( specialy the graduate) with the bluegreen see agrey filter can make another vision of the picture! have a nice evening!
lizzibell
Beautiful scence...
Laelia
hi Kai ! Stuning for me that pic 'cause so similar landscape here like we got on French Cote d'Azur !! What a good place and good shot ! Just a little shiny "en rendu" postwork, but never mind cause it's gorgeous, don't be too hard with yourself... Continue Thanks for shot & shared q:) Magali

Modest as usual, you are your own worst critic. Not withstanding the little things I like this, particularly the water effect with the rocks.
TerraDreamer
Fantastic photography! Wonderful color and clarity in this! PERFECT! I hope you have a great weekend :)
